Broe Real Estate Group, Alvarez & Marsal Capital Real Estate Partner to Attract Fortune 500 Company
DENVER – October 20, 2022 – Broe Real Estate Group (BREG), the wholly-owned subsidiary of the multi-billion-dollar, Colorado private investment firm, The Broe Group, in conjunction with Alvarez & Marsal Capital Real Estate (A&M CapRE), the real estate investment management arm of Alvarez & Marsal, has signed Micron Technologies, Inc. as the lead tenant for their new joint venture, MAX Technology Center (MTC). The 207,000 square foot Longmont lease marks Colorado’s largest flex lease of the year.
“MTC is the culmination of thoughtful partnership, planning, and investment necessary to reposition an existing asset into a vibrant campus attractive to life sciences, advanced manufacturing and flex office tenants,” said BREG CEO Douglas Wells.
Strategically located within Colorado’s technology triangle, the 475,000 square foot facility is the culmination of an extensive $100M transformation of the former manufacturing facility. The redevelopment includes enhanced interior and exterior common area amenities, upgraded campus façade, and extensive investment in building systems designed to assist employers in attracting and retaining talent. MAX Technology Center’s highly-amenitized environment now caters to life science, advanced manufacturing, and creative office users.
“The life science and advanced manufacturing sectors are poised to withstand current market headwinds, with Boulder County – a top life science destination in the US – being a direct beneficiary of the continued growth and onshoring of these companies,” said A&M CapRE Co-Founder and CEO Hugh G. Hilton.
Acquired in 2017, MAX Technology Center’s 25-acre innovation campus is the largest block of contiguous office space in Colorado. With the successful close of MTC’s lead tenant, leasing continues to be led by CBRE’s Erik Abrahamson.
“The development of the MAX Technology Center has created an important economic driver for Longmont and the region,” said Longmont Economic Development Partnership President and CEO Jessica Erickson. “With more than 200 employees already in Longmont, Micron is one of the city’s largest private sector employers and a global leader in semiconductor manufacturing. Locally, the collective semiconductor industry represents a $35M annual economic impact. The opportunity to retain and support Micron’s growth at the newly imagined MAX Technology Center will have a lasting positive economic effect on our community and will serve as a catalyst for the remaining campus occupancy.”
